Telegram has updated its content moderation policies following the arrest of CEO Pavel Durov in France, where he faces charges related to the platform's alleged facilitation of illegal activities. The app now allows users to report illegal content in private chats, a shift from its previous stance that protected such conversations from moderation requests. Durov, who described his arrest as 'misguided', acknowledged that the platform's rapid growth to 950 million users has made it easier for criminals to exploit its features. He emphasized the need for improvements in moderation while denying that Telegram is an 'anarchic paradise'. The updated FAQ now includes clear instructions on how users can report inappropriate content, and Durov has committed to making internal changes to enhance user safety. As Telegram navigates these legal challenges, it is also facing increased scrutiny regarding how tech platforms manage illegal content.
